Can Anybody Stop Collins?

Phil Collins - "I've got nine mill-no, wait!  TEN!"
Phil Collins - "I've got nine mill-no, wait! TEN!"

Lance Steinberg has become the fourth player at the feature table to have been sent to the rail by Phil Collins, who by all accounts, is on the sickest run in all of WSOP history.

The action folded to Steinberg who raised to 66,000 from middle position before Collins flat-called from the big blind, making it heads-up to the flop of {7-Spades}{10-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}. Steinberg led out for 122,000 and Collins called, then Steinberg bet 250,000 on the turn of the {8-Hearts}.

Collins shoved. Steinberg called all-in. Jaws hit the floor.

Collins: {J-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Steinberg: {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

Steinberg had a glimmer of hope with the gut-shot straight flush draw, but given the run-good that Collins has had today, you didn't think that he was going to double up, did you?

Of course not. The {2-Diamonds} bricked out on the river. So long Steinberg, and hello Collins - you've just cracked 10 million chips! BOOM!
